Bjorn Viking Braided Coat, Dark Blue 1280003950

Our Viking coat is made of sturdy cotton fabric (canvas) and lined except for the sleeves. It is snug and comfortable to allow for multiple layers of clothing underneath. Its length ends just above the knee and is therefore in keeping with early medieval depictions.
We recommend that you wear the Klappenrock with a belt, as it closes in the same way as a modern bathrobe. Please note that the belt is not included in the delivery and must be purchased separately.
The klappenrock (also known as a warrior's coat or wrap coat) has its origins with the Eurasian horse nomads (i.e. the Huns and Avars) and found its way to the West during the Migration Period and the Early Middle Ages.
The Vikings and Russian people adopted this particular type of coat and added decorative tablet-woven trim to the garment. A Nordic klappenrock features angled front flaps that overlap diagonally and are held together with a belt.
Historical depictions of wraparound coats can be found, for example, on the Sutton Hoo and Valsgá¤rde helmets from the 7th century. Several fragments of such coats were also found at the Viking Age site of Hedeby, the most important Viking settlement and trading place on the Jutland peninsula (near the city of Schleswig, now in northern Germany). The klappenrock was usually combined with a tunic and loose-fitting trousers. Warrior motifs found on the surviving helmets suggest that it was not only worn in everyday life but also in battle.
